Ever heard of Duetz Diesel engines

We have 4 new ultra low emission switch engines ( locomotives ) in the yard equipped with Duetz diesels, there are 3 of them in each loco and they are all V-8's. Interesting thing is that they have Amsoil oil by-pass filtration systems on them. I found an ID tag and it stated the engine produced 657 h.p, not sure about the torque it was not listed. There are huge generators where the tranny should be for electrical power generation. These things run off of batteries and the engine or engines are used to recharge the batteries.
